In the AAM, atomic particles and phenomena are not just modeled after astronomical bodies and phenomena. Atomic particles are astrological
bodies, in a smaller universal scale. So, as we learn more about the astrological bodies, we also know more about atomic particles,
and vice-versa.

In this respect, the AAM is a self similar
atomic model. One of the greatest pioneers in a self similar model of atoms, solar systems, galaxies, and more, is
Robert L. Oldershaw, an independent researcher, loosely
affiliated with Amherst College. The AAM shares the general idea, but differs widely in respect of Roberts models and theories.

The AAM shares, and has adopted, many ideas, viewpoints, and assumptions from Glenn Borchardt. Glenn is the director of the Progressive Science Institute, and has published many scientific papers
and is the author/co-author of the following scientific books.

The most comprehensive of Glenn's books, again, touches on the 10 assumptions of Science, and the ramifications of these assumptions.
Plus, a very down to earth description of the nature and mass and motion.

Glenn teams up with Stephen Puetz to describe many similarities between atoms and astronomical observations. Although the AAM strives to
make the same types of comparisons, there is a large difference between the two theories.

In this digital (Kindle) text, Glenn concentrates more on the assumption of infinity and what it means, and outcomes.

Many of the ideas behind the AAM are also shared with Bob
(Particle Guru) and David
(Dissident Science) de Hilster. Both Bob and David also
subscribe to many of Glenn's ideas, and have overseen many years of work developing their own down to earth physical models based on common
sense and physical reality.

One idea central to the AAM, is that our solar system is the equivalent of a hydrogen atom. I need to point out that planets in the solar
system do not represent what is the current concept of electrons within an atom. If this were the case, then our solar system would need to
have a single planet. In the AAM, both the hydrogen atom and our solar system have a single orbital plane.
